Car now unstable

[Tom]

Ever since i had these new tyres fitted it feels unstable at speed.

And sometimes going into corners.

first time its been dry and ive driven with new tyres.

The back end seems to move about loads now.

Any ideas?

Most new tyres will feel a bit loose when first fitted. The additional rubber almost always give a feeling of instability compared with the well worn set that you would have been used to.

Check the pressures just to be on the safe side though.

I had the same with the Falkens that came with my 17"s. Its improved a lot now. I think the tread blocks move around a lot on new tyres - mine were really scary around Redgate @ Donington Park a few weeks ago. Much better now theyve done another 1000 miles.
